Mental health therapy went pretty well. We discussed my feelings of rejection stemming from my sister and an old friend. My sister is married and no longer speaks to our family save on holidays. She is nice on holidays but doesn’t want to spend any time with us outside of that framework. It’s very difficult to see her at church and know she doesn’t care to have a relationship with us. My therapist said to not focus on the people that do not want to be around me but rather focus on the ones that do. My therapist said otherwise I will be drowning in depression.
We also discussed my feelings of never getting married. She said she wasn’t going to sit there and tell me I am going to get married someday but rather she wanted me to work on being happy. She said it is better to be happy with yourself than to be married and still be miserable. She told me not to come across desperate otherwise it would just turn the person I’m dating off.
So today, after therapy, I messaged a new friend that I am making and we made further plans to hang out and chill sometime. Slowly but surely, I want to work on being content with who I am rather than always wishing things were different.
